They work for non-profit organizations whose mission is to help people suffering from emergencies (natural disasters or other emergencies). Such organizations often have very large networks across borders, so Australian firefighters, for example, may end up fighting fires in the US or Canadian rescue teams may help injured people in India. These organizations (such as the Red Cross/Red Crescent) are often supported by private donors, companies or individual donations.
